PainX contains Meta magnesium bisglycinate as a source of highly absorbable magnesium, a key mineral involved in muscle relaxation which helps to relieve muscle spasms, pain and cramping.

Clinical studies have shown the compatibility of taking PEA alongside other pain medications, to provide effective pain relief without compromising safety. However, we would recommend you speak with your healthcare professional for specific recommendations and guidance.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is a chemical that the body naturally produces in response to pain, it is also found in some foods. PEA influences nerve signalling, helping to reduce pain and swelling associated with mild nerve pain. When experiencing severe pain and inflammation, the body cannot produce enough PEA naturally. Taking a PEA supplement can help to boost PEA levels, helping to restore its protective and pain relieving effects.

At Metagenics, we use a specific form of high-quality magnesium known as magnesium bisglycinate or Meta Mag®. This form of magnesium is bound to the amino acid glycine, which improves its bioavailability and absorption. It is also gentler on the stomach and less likely to cause gastrointestinal upsets. However, some people may still experience loose stools or diarrhea when taking high doses of magnesium. If this happens, try reducing your dose by half, e.g. Instead of taking two serves per day, cut down to one serve. You can then gradually increase it over a week or two to find the optimal dose for you.
